I started boycotting Cottage beers about 4 years ago and boycotted Archers about 3 years before they closed. Absolute dross. I still rate a pub a bit lower if it has a Cottage beer on as personally think they must know little about beer or care little for the customers.
Just back from long weekend, which included a visit to Canterbury. My disappointment was The Foundry Lunchtime Sunday, just soulless, may be fine for CAMRA note takers but as a pub it just fails for me. Review & photos will follow in due course
Can't stand Cottage myself. Always brewing "new recipes" which seem little different to ones gone previously. Good landlords locally in Somerset generally can't stand them either. They sell at very low prices and deliver nationally themselves as a lot of the local market won't use them.

I liked the look of the Craft 100, too, but decided it might be a little busy. I didn't count on it being that full, though! A good job that a bit of random internet browsing turned up the Over the Hop Festival at the White Horse, Parsons Green - there's more of the same next month and it was well worth the visit.
My local beer shop has an inexplicable attachment to their beers. Or, rather, beer - it is all just the one that they muck around with a bit, then put a different steam loco on the clip, isn't it?
